I've now got both ports 5800 and 5900 forwarding (on my router) to the
Win2k machine I'm trying to connect to. I just read that the Java client
doesn't work when behind a web proxy
(http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/faq.html#q18). That explains why I
still can't get connected via java client, I think.
But, if I try to use the "normal" viewer, I get the error "Failed to
connect to server". It doesn't give me a password prompt or anything. I
am able to ping the IP address fine.
Any ideas on where to go from here?
Thank you,
Nick

For Java client access you need both ports 5800 and 5900:
router:5800 -> server:5800
router:5900 -> server:5900
